2 DRAFT Introduction Every year in San Francisco about 30 people lose their lives and over 500 more are seriously injured while traveling on City streets These deaths are unacceptable and preventable, and San Francisco is committed to stopping further loss of life Along with engineering changes to streets, education, outreach, evaluation, and policy changes, enforcement is one component of the Vision Zero framework that the City has adopted At the request of the SFPD, SFMTA, and DPH, the Controller s Office has analyzed the most recently available collision data to gain a better view of the relationship between traffic enforcement and collisions, and potentially inform refinements to the SFPD s traffic enforcement strategy

3 DRAFT Introduction This analysis is also timely in that the SFPD is currently reviewing and implementing 479 recommendations it has received over the last 18 months from the Blue Ribbon Panel, US Department of Justice, Civil Grand Jury, and other sources. Collectively, these recommendations emphasize the importance of: Engaging in community policing and community outreach Bringing police and community members together to foster an improved understanding of police practices and community perceptions, and Engaging with the community to develop districtbased, co-produced public safety strategies We hope this analysis will be helpful in facilitating conversations among the SFPD and the communities in each District as the SFPD implements these recommendations

4 DRAFT Introduction Evidence from scientific research shows that: The visible presence of a law enforcement officer has a general deterrence effect on traffic violations, and There is a connection between traffic enforcement and the number of vehicle collisions. Drawing upon this research, we have analyzed data from 2013, 2014, and 2015 through the lens of enforcement as a first step in considering how the SFPD can most effectively contribute to achieving the Vision Zero goal Our draft analysis is comprehensive and covers a number of different subjects Deterrence Theory Analysis of the Collision Data Location Time of day and day of week Road user behaviors focus of today s presentation Strategies for Maximizing General Deterrence Additional Considerations for Data Collection

6 DRAFT Collision Data pertaining to Dangerous Road User Behaviors 6 Foundational Research In the book Policing and Security in Practice: Challenges and Achievements (2012), experts in the field of policing and traffic collisions stress two important points related to the nature of traffic enforcement: enforcement operations need to be tailored to the specific driving context and driving environment, such that a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to be effective. [emphasis added] there is increasing awareness that paying attention to causes lends credence to the need for a varied response to crime so that actions taken are fit for their purpose and are more likely to have an effect. [emphasis added] The multitude of factors that contribute to collisions (e.g., road characteristics and conditions, traffic controls, traffic speeds, traffic and pedestrian volumes, and a variety of human-related factors) are not necessarily the same from one police district to another. Thus, a district-based approach to analyzing the collision data appears to be the most appropriate approach.

7 DRAFT Collision Data pertaining to Dangerous Road User Behaviors 7 Methodology for Analyzing Primary Collision Factors in each District ( ) 1 Count the number of fatal and injury collisions (excluding collisions involving only a complaint of pain) for which each PCF is responsible and rank order them Example: Bayview Police District Tabular Format Graphical Format

9 DRAFT Collision Data pertaining to Dangerous Road User Behaviors 9 Results of PCF Clustering Analysis ( ; fatal and injury collisions excluding complaint of pain) The table below summarizes the results of our district-level PCF analysis. The cells shaded in blue represent the primary collision factors that emerged from the clustering analysis in the top two groups for each district. Current Focus on the Five Factors

36 Appendix C 36 Proportion of Fatal and Severe Injury Collisions associated with the Top Primary Collision Factors Notes: 1. Shown here is a partial list of the city-wide collision factors provided in Appendix B. 2. The Total Count column is based on fatal, severe injury, and other visible injury cases. The PCFs listed here are sorted in descending order based on the Total Count of cases. 3. Blue shading represents the top collision factors identified through our primary collision factor analysis. 4. Red shading signifies the upper half of the top collision factors based on the percentage of fatal and severe collisions (i.e., the top 9 factors out of 18).
